Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!

Chapter 972: Chapter 1015: Registering the Marriage Certificate

Ling Yueyue was eating porridge with a spoon and asked, ”Does this mean I’m marrying into a wealthy family?”

Huo Junmo, trying to focus on the road ahead, teased, ”I guess I count as wealthy! Though I’m not the richest in the world, life isn’t exactly tight!”

”You’re more than just wealthy; you’re a super-rich! Haha... I never thought I’d marry someone rich one day! But I hope you won’t regret marrying me today!” Ling Yueyue said as she ate. Thinking about her complicated family, she felt a slight headache coming on.

To be honest, she was really afraid of Huo Junmo meeting her family one day!

She couldn’t imagine what Huo Junmo would think if he knew about her family!

Listening to Ling Yueyue’s words, a glint of darkness flashed in Huo Junmo’s eyes, and his lips curled slightly in a somewhat mocking way, ”I also hope you won’t regret marrying me one day!”

Ling Yueyue automatically interpreted his words as referring to having a little troublemaker, Huo Jiantian, at home, and didn’t think much of it, saying nonchalantly, ”I’ve seen all sorts of storms in my life. As long as you behave and don’t fool around outside, I won’t regret it!”

”Let’s hope so!” Huo Junmo laughed at himself and didn’t say anything else, driving silently to the civil affairs bureau.

The process of getting the marriage certificate was much faster than Ling Yueyue had imagined! However, what puzzled Ling Yueyue was that although Huo Junmo had been married before, which made this his second marriage, the staff didn’t ask him for any proof of his ex-wife’s death. Their marriage certificate showed he was single.

Thinking she might have misunderstood, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but ask, ”Didn’t you get married once? Why didn’t the staff say anything?”

Hearing her words, the smile on Huo Junmo’s lips stiffened, a shadow flickered in his eyes, and he glanced at her without saying a word, heading straight for the Maybach parked not far away!

”...!” It was the first time Ling Yueyue saw that expression on Huo Junmo’s face, and she realized she had said something wrong, quickly chasing after him and getting into the passenger seat.

Huo Junmo didn’t look at her and started the Maybach, asking without expression, ”Where to? School or hotel?”

Ling Yueyue looked at him and replied, ”Take me to school! I have two compulsory classes later!”

Huo Junmo said nothing, directly turning the wheel and heading to Ling Yueyue’s school!

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat gloomy, and although there was no expression on Huo Junmo’s face, Ling Yueyue knew he was in a bad mood.

Ling Yueyue opened her mouth, hesitated for a while, but couldn’t help asking, ”Did I say something wrong earlier? If so, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it!”

Huo Junmo shook his head and said faintly, ”It’s fine!”

Seeing he didn’t want to continue the conversation, Ling Yueyue wisely closed her mouth and didn’t speak again!

Through this incident, she realized something profoundly!

Which is, Huo Junmo’s ex-wife was always a sore spot for him! He didn’t like anyone mentioning anything about her!

However, she was really confused! Didn’t Huo Junmo love his ex-wife deeply? If he did love her so much, why didn’t he like others mentioning her? Generally speaking, even if they were separated by death, it shouldn’t be that mentioning is forbidden, right?

Huo Junmo’s behavior was really strange, making him hard to understand.

Huo Junmo silently drove Ling Yueyue to the school gate. Just as Ling Yueyue was about to open the car door to get out, Huo Junmo got out first, walked around the car, and opened the passenger door for her.

Ling Yueyue unbuckled her seatbelt and got out! After thanking Huo Junmo, she was about to head into the school.

After taking two steps, she heard Huo Junmo’s voice behind her, ”I’ll call you after work later!”

Ling Yueyue paused, turned back, and smiled slightly, agreeing promptly, ”Okay! Talk to you later!”

Huo Junmo nodded and waved her off.

Ling Yueyue waved back to him before turning around towards the school!

Huo Junmo stood at the gate watching Ling Yueyue enter, and only when her figure completely disappeared did he get back into the car and drive away.

......

After attending two classes, Ling Yueyue bid farewell to her best friend Ye Anxin and took a bus to the cafe where she was temporarily working!

She had been working at this cafe for almost a year now. The pay and benefits were good, and the hours were short. As long as she got along well with the supervisor, she could arrange her schedule in advance!

Although sometimes it was tiring, the good thing was that the hard work paid off!

Each month’s salary, after rent and utilities, went mostly to her parents, leaving just a little for living expenses!

Today, as usual, her shift was from 11 AM to 5 PM! Occasionally, when the store got really busy and she had to work overtime, they’d double her hourly wage for the extra hours!

Since using a phone on shift was not allowed, Ling Yueyue left hers in the locker room!

Like every day, Ling Yueyue began preparing to finish work at 4:50 PM.

Just as she got to the locker room, without changing her clothes, the supervisor hurried over to tell her it had suddenly gotten busy outside and they needed her to work overtime!

Thinking about the overtime pay, Ling Yueyue nodded and agreed without hesitation, completely forgetting her earlier conversation with Huo Junmo!

By the time she finished the peak hours, it was already 7 PM!

After changing out of her work clothes, she checked her phone to find numerous missed calls, all from Huo Junmo!

Seeing the missed calls, Ling Yueyue remembered her morning promise to Huo Junmo. She quickly grabbed her bag, dialing him back while she walked out!

The phone rang twice before he picked up, and his deep, somewhat displeased voice came through, ”Where are you now?”

Feeling apologetic, Ling Yueyue said, ”Sorry, I was busy and forgot about waiting for your call earlier! I’m really sorry!”

Hearing the apology in her voice, Huo Junmo’s tone softened a bit, ”Have you eaten yet?”

Ling Yueyue answered honestly, ”Not yet! Just finished work and was about to grab something to eat!”

Huo Junmo asked, ”Where are you now? I can come find you!”

Ling Yueyue shook her head, refusing, ”No need, I’ve been busy all day and I’m tired. I just want to eat something simple and head back to the hotel to rest!”

Huo Junmo persistently asked, ”I’m near your school, where are you now? I can come to you!”
